BLOOD AND VOLUME: INSIDE NEW YORK'S ISRAELI MAFIA

In the 1980s, a small group of Israeli nationals set up one of the most lucrative crime syndicates in New York City's history. With rackets ranging from drug dealing to contract killing, the gang's crime spree was so violent that it wasn't long before crime reporters for New York's tabloids dubbed the crew the Israeli Mafia. Headed by a cold-blooded killer named Johnny Attias, the Israeli mafia butted heads with the Italian mafia, killed Russian gangsters and pulled off the biggest gold heist in the history of Manhattan's Diamond District. 207 Pgs. 2007
